Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Incorporated, established on November 21, 1981, at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, is the nation's FIRST multicultural sorority. Founded by five visionary women—Eve Bracero, Lillian Sierra, Karinee Candelario, Ruth Gonzalez, and Sylvia Vigo—Mu Sigma Upsilon was created to embrace diversity and unite women of all ethnic backgrounds. The sorority stands on the pillars of academic excellence, unity amongst all women, and to be active in the university and community. Through these pillars, Mu Sigma Upsilon has become a beacon of empowerment and leadership for women, and known for its dedication to cultural awareness, education, and social justice.
The iCONNic Concordia chapter at the University of Connecticut was founded on November 14, 1999, and our sisters on campus have continued to work together to bring positive change in our communities and beyond. Through a strong network of sisters, our sorority cultivates leaders who are passionate about making a lasting impact on the world.
Message from the Chapter President
 |
Being the president of the iCONNic Concordia chapter of Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Incorporated, has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. This sorority has become so much more than just an organization to me—it's truly my home away from home, a place where I've not only found sisters but also a deeper connection to my culture. Through Mu Sigma Upsilon, I've embraced my heritage in ways I never imagined, and it has made me feel more in tune with who I am. The opportunities I've encountered—whether in leadership, community service, or personal growth—are ones I know I wouldn’t have found anywhere else. This sisterhood has shaped me into a stronger, more confident version of myself, and I am endlessly grateful for the love, support, and empowerment I've received from my sisters. Representing this chapter and all these amazing women, is both an honor and a responsibility that I cherish deeply. |
